You say you want something, but you are distracted easily. Ask yourself, "Why am I attracted to anything?" Unless you find that, you are just a plaything in the hands of situations. If you really know, then knowing itself decides for you. Then there is no question of indecision or distraction because there are no options left.

Questioner: Sir, good afternoon. My name is Rupam Shukla. Sir, I have a dream to clear CAT and go to MBA in some of the IIMs but whenever I start preparing for it, I get deviated. I cannot focus on two things at one time. And that’s what I want to ask, "How I can get over this?"
Acharya Prashant: Rupam, let’s say, you are very, very thirsty and you see that there is this water bottle on this table here. Have you ever experienced real thirst, real thirst? Not that ordinary, mediocre thirst that can wait, real thirst? You are very thirsty and you dart out from that position towards this bottle. You want water. Just as you take a few steps, somebody calls out to you, “Rupam, here’s the latest movie and its tickets, let’s talk about it.” Will you get deviated and distracted? Will you get distracted?
Questioner: No Sir.
Acharya Prashant: And if you do get distracted, if midway, you stop and you start talking about movies and miscellaneous things, what does that mean? It was a fake thirst. You aren’t really thirsty. The one who is really thirsty, cannot stop midway. He is unstoppable. He will die but not stop.
